If you would like to track your own institution’s statistics, log on to OCLC Product Services Web ( http://psw.oclc.org/) and select “download records and reports”. Select the report, “OCLC Product Code Detail Usage Report”. You can either display the report or download it. To track your Expert Community replace activity, look for the product code, ONT6390. Statistics are available for July through October of this fiscal year as well as for February through June of last fiscal year. November data should be available in the next few days.

On behalf of my OCLC colleagues, thanks again for your support of the Expert Community.
